I used to do this before, with over 200 seedlings a year but had forgotten how much fun it really is to do. Thank you for reminding me again how much fun this all really is.
I have to confess that I haven't even culled that one real "dog" pictured in the article... this year, I will do a better job of marking who is where, so I can give away the peach ones that I don't want, and that ugly one is just getting pulled up when it blooms. It's hard to kill something you tried so hard to keep growing for several years! LOL
I tried seed for the first time last year and the plants a huge this year! I got some more seeds that I have started for this year...problem is I am already out of room I have so many!
Critter, one year I planted so many seeds I had to beg people to take the seedlings, which I gave by clumps of 50 or 60. I think most people thought anything that came in that size couldn't be good. However, later I had people contact me and tell me how wonderful they were. Unfortunately, I didn't save any for myself because of lack of room.
I have seeds now, and I am going to start them. It will be so much fun to add them to my new property! I really can't wait.
Your instructions and the additional hints in the comments section are all I need to get started again.
A well illustrated, well structured, and informational article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. I am sure you have inspired many already.
